The United Kingdom announced last Saturday that there would be 14 days of quarantine for people arriving in the British country from Spain. A measure that does not endanger Manchester City-Real Madrid for the second leg of the Champions League to be held in the English city on August 7.
Hugh Elliot, Ambassador of the United Kingdom to Spain, explained in Al Rojo Vivo de LaSexta the reasons why Real Madrid will be able to play the game in Manchester without doing this quarantine. “There is a list of exceptions to quarantine and on that list they consider elite athletes,” he began. saying the ambassador, to add that “tI have to insist that it is not an absolute freedom. The movements will be controlled to be able to celebrate the match. They will be in a bubble to reduce riskss ”. “Today I cannot say when we will lift this quarantine measure, we are continually looking at the figures,” he said.
The UK Government has confirmed that it will be played at Etihad on August 7, as planned, behind closed doors and under the security protocol established by UEFA.
